protonSounds like quite a firefight took place in Somalia. It also sounds like it was not a total success.

They didn't get the target and equipment was abandoned. That's not a "not a total success". That's a straight-up defeat. Especially if the point was to weaken al-Shabaab, since now they get to go around calling themselves the group that beat the Americans.
